Abstract:

The point of departure for this debate (and the SAA forum) was the question ‘does archaeological theory exist?’ Matthew Johnson's answer is wisely mixed, but mostly negative. Archaeological theory does not exist, he tells us, because there is hardly any distinctive archaeological way of theoretical thinking ‘to which most or even the largest group of archaeologists would willingly or knowingly subscribe’ (p. 117). I shall not spend much time on Johnson's denial, which for several reasons may well be justified, just note that if we apply his rather rigorous consensual criterion to other discipl

Abstract:

In the past two decades, the “archaeology of religion” has moved from the margins of scholarship to the center, led by the growth of postprocessual archaeological hermeneutics. 1 Such theoretical frames – whether the materiality of religion, objects as agents, the entanglement of humans and objects, or “thing theory” – demonstrate the centrality of the physical world and its archaeological correlates to religion. They offer new ways of posing questions about the construction of meanings for worshippers through materials.2

Abstract:

The epistemological principles of natural science dominate the archaeological discourse. Methods and theories developed exclusively for natural science are used in archaeology without further ado. Archaeological institutions employ experts on scientific methods. University departments, scholarship foundations and other institutions spend large amounts of money on projects and education with an explicit connection to natural science. The significance and outcome of such projects are hardly ever questioned. In this article the background of the present situation is analysed. It is also argued th

Abstract Biblical archaeology has very important roles in the method of hermeneutic interpretation to obtain an accurate, valid, precise and accountable interpretation of the Bible. Through a qualitative approach with a literature study method, this study concludes that biblical archaeology in hermeneutics has the implementations as a tool to reveal the historical context and cultural meaning of a text by understanding the archaeological relationship with the biblical text, as a tool to identify the text to adapt its content to the context of the Ancient Near East through the identification of

Abstract:

The article provides an overview and offers a classification of modern methodological approaches in the field of cultural studies. The article helps to choose an appropriate methodological strategy for conducting cultural research. Cultural studies methods are classified into three types: theoretical, applied and synthetic. The article discusses the specificity, advantages and disadvantages of such methods as field research, an interdisciplinary approach involving sociological analysis, archaeological analysis, art analysis, psychological experiment for cultural studies, and also considers the

Abstract:

This article deals with the reconstruction of an ancient seaport in the town of Bejaia, known as Muslubium Horrea. This settlement, ignored by the official historiography, would nevertheless have played an important role in wheat exports and trade with the Roman port of Ostia. Moreover, of all the ancient ports known to date, the Algerian coast has only two port warehouses, and Muslubium Horrea is the only granary belonging to the Roman province of Mauretania Sitifensis (400AD). The methodology adopted to locate and reconstruct the topography and the settlement’s structures is based on the con

Abstract:

Taking a geopolitical perspective centred in the Argentinian Andes, the authors propose a hermeneutical view of dialogical archaeology. The application of this theoretical and methodological approach to the example of the archaeological site of Huayatayoc (Puna de Jujuy, Argentina) enables an interpretation of the site as a complex woven fabric of diachronic local and scientific practices and narratives. The authors’ work at Huayatayoc provides an example of the potential of this approach for the development of a critical Latin American archaeology, which seeks to acknowledge the multiple inte

Full text

Abstract:

Processual and postprocessual archaeologists implicitly employ the same epistemological system to evaluate the worth of different explanations: inference to the best explanation. This is good since inference to the best explanation is the most effective epistemological approach to archaeological reasoning available. Underlying the logic of inference to the best explanation is the assumption that the explanation that accounts for the most evidence is also most likely to be true. This view of explanation often reflects the practice of archaeological reasoning better than either the hypothetico-d

Abstract:

High formalism (often identified with the criticism of modern arts) can be defined by the reification of pure formality, the promotion of close looking, and the decontextualization of "the object," its disaggregation from the archaeological and architectural assemblages in which all artifacts are usually found. It is avowedly subjective. By contrast, historical formalism (often identified with the archaeology of art in premodern and non-Western traditions) attempts a hermeneutics of integrated aspect-seeing in the past——including the constitutive historical subjectivity of formality produced b

Abstract:

In the light of some significant anniversaries, this pa- per discusses the fate of archaeological theory after the heyday of postprocessualism. While once considered a radical and revolutionary alternative, post- processual or interpretative archaeology remarkably soon became normalized, mainstream and hegem- onic, leading to the theoretical lull that has charac- terized its aftermath. Recently, however, this consen- sual pause has been disrupted by new materialist per- spectives that radically depart from the postproces- sual orthodoxy. Some outcomes of these perspectives are proposed and dis

Well-known in popular culture for tomb-raiding and mummy-wrangling, the archaeologist is also a rich though often unacknowledged figure for constructing ‘strange new worlds’ from ‘strange old worlds’ in science fiction. But more than a well-spring for scenarios, SF’s archaeological imaginary is also a hermeneutic tool for excavating the ideological motivations of digging up the past buried in the future.

Abstract:

Maritime culture existed parallel to the agrarian mainstream. The term cultural landscape is partly applied into archaeological thinking. The first application of the specific concept of a maritime cultural landscape (also known as seascape, waterscape, island archeology etc.) dates to the middle of the 1970s. Any holistic view of maritime culture must be conceptual, administrative, material, or instinctive. Maritime cultural landscape is multilayered, not isolated from inland landscape, and was first published in English at the University of Copenhagen. It includes any hermeneutic kind of hum

In order to study the broad topic of divinity, it is essential to survey the history of scholarship, especially to understand the foundation of views inherited by modern scholars. The Enlightenment is chosen as a starting point due to the growth of the critical study of the Bible during these times. Germanic scholarship of the Hebrew Bible in nineteenth century is articulated as a critical turning point. Subsequent developments include the emergence of sociological methods, the “history of religion” comparative approach, and the “myth-and-ritual” school of thought. Newly discovered archaeologi

Abstract Looking at the development of mass-media law in post-Soviet Russia is like examining the wrists of a recently freed prisoner where the marks of the chains are still present. The very claims for freedom and the guarantees of change bespeak past injustices and old allocations of power. In the short moments that have transpired, issues of law in the defining of communication have already had a dramatic cycle: the rule of law has been followed by the assertion of military force and bloodshed, and force, in its tum, has been followed again by a clumsy reaffirmation of law.

Abstract Many years before the so-called ontological and materialist turns in archaeological and anthropological theory, ideational cognitive archaeologists made progress towards understanding at least some of the meanings of—and motivations behind the creation of—rock art. Working closely with Indigenous groups, and tacking back and forth between ethnographic, neurological, and material-cultural data, researchers were able to challenge the nihilist assertion that “we will never know anything about the original significance of the art.” This chapter considers historiography, theoretical, and m
